Ogilvy & Mather SA’s Graduate Programme

For those brave enough,
the world is theirs.

Our founder, David, became an assistant account executive at the age of 25. Being that young didn't stop him from starting his own agency a few years later, in 1948. Today, O&M's global workforce is nearing 25,000 and while it may sound large, our close family is what sets us apart. o25 for graduates is a unique opportunity to kickstart your career and to challenge yourself at one of the most recognised creative agencies.

Our Companies:

An intersection of the arts and sciences

At O&M, we’re made up of artists, designers, marketers, entrepreneurs, socialists, idealists and innovators (we even have a doctor and one or two lawyers). We exist to bring our clients' brands to life through creativity, innovation and strategic behavioural science. Our culture is collaborative, we embrace the free exchange of ideas and we always strive to be better. And graduates are critical assets in helping bring fresh ideas to the table, with little or no experience. Because, to be an agency of the future, we need people of the future.

BIG ideas deserve BIG opportunities

o25 has been designed by leaders who understand today's age of digital creativity and what it takes to succeed in the world of marketing. The 12-month programme is demanding, but it rewards bright thinking and hard work. As an o25 Graduate, you'll get a unique perspective across a number of integrated disciplines. You'll develop skills, get hands-on experience and work with some of the best minds in the business. And with so many opportunities, chances are good you'll find something you love.
